Modern Slavery Act
Our Commitment
ELLKAY International Limited is committed to conducting business with integrity and in compliance with all applicable laws, including the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. Modern slavery encompasses forced labor, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation. As a professional services company operating in the healthcare technology sector, we assess our exposure to these risks as minimal relative to industries with complex physical supply chains. Nonetheless, we take our responsibilities seriously and continue to strengthen our practices year over year.
What We Have in Place
ELLKAY has established several mechanisms to address modern slavery risk across our operations and supply chain. Our Code of Ethics and Conduct requires all employees to acknowledge and comply with applicable laws, including those governing labor and human rights. We conduct regular employee training on workplace behavior, including standards against harassment and exploitation. Our service and procurement agreements include provisions requiring business partners to comply with applicable modern slavery and anti-trafficking laws.
Steps We Are Taking
We are strengthening our approach through planned improvements: integrating a formal modern slavery policy into our Code of Ethics, embedding it in our Employee Handbook for annual acknowledgment, enhancing training, issuing third-party due diligence statements, and monitoring legislative developments.
